Jack Osbourne's Heartfelt Tribute: A Week with Ozzy Before His Passing

Jack Osbourne has revealed his emotional tribute to his late father Ozzy that he shared at his funeral, after the rocker's tragic death in July

ROGER WATERS' SAVAGE TRASHING OF OZZY OSBOURNE EXPOSED: JACK OSBOURNE UNLEASHES FURY IN SCATHING SOCIAL MEDIA RANT

In a shocking display of disrespect, legendary rocker Roger Waters has made some explosive comments about the late Ozzy Osbourne in an interview with The Independent Ink. But it's not just his words that are causing a stir - it's the searing rebuke from Ozzy's own son, Jack Osbourne.

As reported earlier by our team at thescholarlynote.com, Ozzy passed away on July 22nd after a long battle with Parkinson's disease and other health issues. The rock legend was just 76 years old when he left this mortal coil, leaving behind a legacy that will be remembered for generations to come.

But not everyone is mourning his passing - or at least, not in the way you might expect. In an interview on Tuesday, Roger Waters made it clear that Ozzy and Black Sabbath were never really his cup of tea. "I couldn't care less about Black Sabbath," he snarled. "We'll never know. The music, I have no idea. I couldn't give a f*."

Needless to say, Jack Osbourne was not amused by Waters' comments. Taking to social media, he unleashed a furious rant at the 81-year-old rocker, branding him a "c**t" in front of his 1.3 million followers on Instagram.

"F* You," Jack wrote, adding that his father always thought Waters was a "dickhead". And it's clear that the younger Osbourne is taking after his old man when it comes to speaking his mind - and standing up for what he believes in.

Returning to his podcast for first time since his dad's death, Jack revealed that he recited a heart-wrenching quote from actor Keanu Reeves during Ozzy's funeral

But Jack's anger goes beyond just Waters' comments about his dad. It seems like a long-standing feud between the two rockers, with Jack accusing Waters of being "pathetic" and only seeking attention through his outrageous statements.

"It's the only way you seem to get attention these days is by vomiting out bulls* in the press," Jack spat. And he's not wrong - Waters has made headlines time and time again for his incendiary comments on everything from politics to celebrity culture.

As for Ozzy himself, his family released a statement after his passing that said he died "surrounded by love". But it's clear that not everyone in the rock world is mourning his loss - at least, not with the same level of respect and dignity as the Osbourne family themselves.

Jack added that while he was in LA when he learned about his father's passing, he spent a week with his family in the UK after Black Sabbath's farewell, after cancelling his family holiday

But enough about Roger Waters' shocking comments. Let's take a look back at the incredible life and career of Ozzy Osbourne, and why he will be remembered for generations to come.

A LEGACY THAT WILL LIVE ON

Ozzy's passing sent shockwaves through the music world, with fans and fellow rockers alike taking to social media to pay their respects. But it's clear that his legacy won't be forgotten anytime soon - especially not by Jack Osbourne, who shared a heart-wrenching tribute to his dad on his podcast recently.

In a poignant episode of "The Jack Osbourne Podcast", the younger Osbourne revealed some incredible stories about his time with Ozzy, including the moment when he recited a quote from Keanu Reeves at his father's funeral. The quote - which spoke about how people who love you miss you most after you're gone - seemed to sum up the emotions of the entire Osbourne family.

"I felt that intensely," Jack said, struggling to hold back tears. "He wasn't just my dad. He was my colleague. We worked together in so many capacities."

It's clear that Ozzy will be deeply missed by his family and friends, but it's also heartening to know that his legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched during his time on this earth.

And as for Roger Waters? Well, let's just say he won't be getting any invites to the Osbourne family gatherings anytime soon.
